Took me a while to figure that one out. I was too distracted by the kid making faces behind the reporter.

[–]andshewas_45 33 points34 points ago

I didn't see the guy at all the first time. Went back and watched again.

[–]so_carelessly_here 42 points43 points ago

I didn't either.

I was watching the kid and waiting for him to turn black.

Sometimes I really enjoy my moments of stupidity.

[–]michzoozoo 6 points7 points ago

At first I read "I didn't see the guy at all the first time. Went black and watched again."

[–]Hoyarugby 6 points7 points ago

But I thought that once you go black, you never go back?

[–]TumbleDryLow 1 point2 points ago

It's just a gif. He stayed black.

[–]fluxaxion -1 points0 points ago

I thought the little kid would turn black...

[–]Icebot -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah, I had thought I clicked on the wrong link because it made me sense to me.

[–]chrisc908 -4 points-3 points ago

Took me about 7 seconds to figure out this is a repost...

[–]adharasi 73 points74 points ago

so that's why all the fastest people in the world are black men, after a certain speed you just become a black man...

[–]LurkerTroll 35 points36 points ago

When white men run too fast, they evolve into a walking black man

[–]datpinecone 6 points7 points ago

What happens when asians run too fast?

[–]BimbelMarley 2 points3 points ago

That's still a mistery, it has never been observed.

[–]Turtleslippers 12 points13 points ago

mistery

[–]banana_harpoon 3 points4 points ago

Mister E?

[–]acconartist 0 points1 point ago

IMPOSSIBRU!!!

[–]ayures 12 points13 points ago

The scientific term for this process is "black shift."

[–]adharasi 0 points1 point ago

or the doppler effect.

Someone needs to make a bot that will check this and delete any new reposts.

[–]akunzepp 5 points6 points ago

An /r9k/ bot?

[–]HawrdCoar 2 points3 points ago

Don't expect people on reddit to get that

[–]IDidntChooseUsername -1 points0 points ago

I did.

[–]floralmuse 2 points3 points ago

why? If you've already seen something just downvote it. If everyone does this, then stale reposts won't hit the front page, and people that don't browse /r/funny 24/7 still get to see relatively fresh content if they missed it the first time.

[–]mentalorigami 34 points35 points ago

[–]claudesoph 10 points11 points ago

There are so many great things about this gif.

[–]tartureixR 3 points4 points ago

Pretty sure I wasn't the only one expecting the kid to turn black

[–]gamatifox 3 points4 points ago

Does anyone else just want to slap that kid? It's something about his face..

[–]ninjaface 11 points12 points ago

WHO UPVOTED THIS?

[–]PFCDoofles 2 points3 points ago

I'M SPARTACUS!

[–]Windy_Sails 0 points1 point ago

NO I'M SPARTACUS!

[–]VigilantOrphan 2 points3 points ago

That guy is Spartacus.

[–]Silverwave2 3 points4 points ago

If you watch the gif from where it starts the black guy is walking off screen then the woman comes running. See here

[–]WannabeGroundhog 2 points3 points ago

[–]Marchie 2 points3 points ago

Why is the kid in both cuts of the video? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND

[–]DangerZone3579 6 points7 points ago

Repost

[–]ismoketabacco 0 points1 point ago

I like to believe that the man was running so fast he broke space/time, thus creating a split-second portal between two different times, right when the other man was taking his stroll and accidentally walking through the portal, too. We have witnessed a great thing, here.

[–]licopter 1 point2 points ago

Wait if this works then mabye if I TYPE really fast ill turn in to a black gangsta..ok here we go typing really fa- OH SHIZ YOLO SWAG I TYPE GUD NOW #SWAG.

[–]TeamTuck -1 points0 points ago

That reported looks like a white Oprah. Just sayin.

[–]alphaorionis 0 points1 point ago

[–]Notloc24 -1 points0 points ago

Explosives, you sick puppy. you know what you did

[–]danrennt98 -1 points0 points ago

He must have leveled up.

[–]enfuego126 0 points1 point ago

Not changing the title to a repost is pure laziness. You should be ashamed

[–]SuperSaiyanNoob 0 points1 point ago

I don't think I can see this GIF again and survived. Literally front paged from like 30 different subreddits.

[–]LeMoose2012 -1 points0 points ago

[–]mtfw -1 points0 points ago

I really gotta start saving gifs in a folder so I can repost for a net gain.

[–]dne416 0 points1 point ago

black to the future!

[–]SycSemperTyrannis08 0 points1 point ago

Repost. But a damn good one.

[–]EasyTargetSWAG 0 points1 point ago

Once you go black you never go back.

[–]smellthyscrote 0 points1 point ago

I definitely found this funnier last week.

[–]clubdub12 0 points1 point ago

I feel like 90 percent of reddit has short term memory loss....

REPOST

[–]happyman112 0 points1 point ago

Did anyone notice that it skipped right when the person turns black?

[–]takemedrunkimhomeKEG 0 points1 point ago

Got it the fourth time I watched it

[–]mindaika 0 points1 point ago

And even then it's just walking speed for a brother.

[–]manbeef 0 points1 point ago

What?

ARTHUR is evolving!

Congratulations! Your ARTHUR evolved into TYRONE!

[–]pokeurmom 1 point2 points ago

I thought you were referencing the reporters black hands but very mocha face. Then I realized I’m dumb ass hell...

[–]aviatrixsb -2 points-1 points ago

Is this in front of the Four Seasons in Santa Barbara?

[–]PksRevenge -2 points-1 points ago

No, its in front of a blue screen, the video behind her may be though, i have no idea.

[–]SEGnosis -4 points-3 points ago

Reposting so old, I downvoted.

[–]Gedzfew 0 points1 point ago

We have seen this gif so many times...

[–]Aro769 -1 points0 points ago

Upon figuring it out, i started laughing histerically. My dog was not amused.

[–]modex20 -4 points-3 points ago

kill yourself

[–]Juttore 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was that kid doin things

[–]Zerble -1 points0 points ago

Doppler effect...

Ain't nobody got time for that!

[–]Asiansensationz -1 points0 points ago

TIL: Run fast enough, then, you can walk like a black man.

[–]Osmium189 -5 points-4 points ago

Funny thing is, I know that kid in the hat.
